Gabriela Michael · Answer 1

Misinformation effect

Explanation:

The misinformation effect is the effect in which the post information of the event interferes with the original memories.

This phenomenon leads to inaccurate information memories. It is the process of the formation of false information or memories.

This is the phenomenon that explains how the information can be raised and influenced the reliability of the information.

The eyewitness memories are those memories that are used to find out guilty in a criminal record.

Thus here in the context, Dorothy experiences the misinformation effects.
